"_b.jpg", on the other hand, is always available in my experience. when the "_o.jpg" doesn't exist, the "_b.jpg" is the largest size available.
Yeabut ...

I have already collected a couple of these images from the user "Bike Tripod".

I find the situation now to be just as you describe - the largest images are "b" ones and 1024x576 in size. However, the versions I collected back in June (in the days after the event) are "o" ones ... and 4864x2736 in size. Which surely means that larger "o" versions exist somewhere - perhaps even on Flickr (if we only knew how to access them !)
